Important notice!

  • With effect from May 2020, Project Admins can no longer set passwords on behalf of Players and the sending of Project invitation email notification to new Players is mandatory. 
  • With effect from November 2020, new Player accounts created via Project invitation are no longer activated automatically. Learn more here.

To get Players to start playing your game, you can invite them to the Project. This is especially important if your Project is toggled to Private. This article will cover the following: 

How to invite a Single, New Player to a Project

NOTE: If you are inviting a Player with a company email address, do check on the company IT security policy if it allows users to receive emails from external parties like Gametize. If not, 

A New Player is one that is entirely new to the Gametize app/web, i.e. do not have a Gametize account. To invite a single, new Player to your Project:

  1. Select and Project and go to Project Tools. 
  2. Select “Player Manager (Project)” under User Management and Awardables.
  3. Click on inviteplayers.png.
  4. Locate the section "Register and Add a New Player". Then, go on to fill in:
    • Player's name
    • Player's email address
  5. Lastly, click addplayer.png to invite the Player.

PS: there is no limit to the number of Players you can invite to a Project.

What happens after you’ve invited the new Player

The invited (new) Player will receive 2 email notifications:

  • Account activation - email is titled “Activate Account”
  • Project invitation which contains the Project link and credentials to log in to their account - email is titled “You have been invited to play [Your Project Title]”

And here’s what the Player needs to do after receiving those email notifications (in sequence):

  1. Activate their account (before they are able to log in).
  2. Go to the Project they are invited to - via the web, they can click on the Project link in the Project invitation email; via the Gametize app, they would need to launch the app.
  3. Log in using the registered email address and the provided randomly generated unique password.
  4. After logging in successfully for the first time, they will be prompted to change their password.

To help you in communicating the above with your Players, below is a draft announcement you can adopt. 

Dear Players, 

You’ve been invited to join my Project “[Your Project Title]”, powered by Gametize. If this is your first time joining a Project on the Gametize platform, you can expect to receive 2 email notifications - one to activate your account, another one being the Project invitation containing your login credentials. 

Here’s what you need to do: 

  • First, activate your account.
  • Then, go to the Project - via the web, you can click on the Project link in the Project invitation email; via the Gametize app, simply launch the app on your mobile device.
  • Log in using the registered email address and the provided randomly generated unique password (you can find them in the Project invitation email).
  • After logging in successfully for the first time, you will be prompted to change your password - so pick one that’s unique and memorable!
